Are you paying attention?

Less than two weeks ago, they CANCELLED the Australia Day parade citing dangers of Covid.

Yesterday, Dan Andrews and other senior members of his government, as well as the police, marched the same streets for “gay pride”.

Suddenly it’s all safe.”

Anyone got a recent example of an event loved by conservatives and traditionalists being allowed to go ahead whilst a transparent pretext is used to shut down a leftist virtue signaling and dissent intimidation parade? Anywhere in the US sphere? Poland or Hungary, perhaps, where the leftist globalists keep claiming “right wing bigots” are in charge?

Because people here keep insisting it’s not true that our modern elites are basically leftists. That’s the kind of thing we’d be seeing, perhaps, if it were so.

And here’s where the dominant leftists are taking us:

An SNP councillor has said that not only should people be prosecuted for telling offensive jokes, but people who found the joke funny should also be prosecuted.

Prosecuted. For laughing at a joke.

The SNP keep saying the quiet part out loud and the mask slips more day by day.”

Jimmy Carr rounded on unvaxxed members of his live audience recently (dunno whether as a one off or a permanent new part of his show) and encouraged others to join in showering them with hate.

I suspect there are no real unvaccinated audience members or at least none that would admit it in such an environment. I reckon it is just part of his act but his slur on the vaccine-free is definitely real and no less vindictive. I can’t stand the bloke and don’t watch any TV show he’s on let alone considering paying to go and see him in a live show.

I used to think he was an above average comedian and subscribed to his YouTube channel until he posted this (attached).

JC, “those who haven’t taken the vaccine, or think it might be dangerous, raise your hands . . .”

As you suggest, they don’t actually show anybody raise their hands.

Not of course because there weren’t any, but because you’d be a fool to raise your hand in that setting. Sheer intimidation. I would have walked out then or soon after, but then I wouldn’t have been there anyway as I don’t find foul-mouthed virtue-signalling morons desperately flailing around trying to go with whatever the zeitgeist is at all funny or entertaining.

Trying to think of a worse response to this kind of post than an unqualified: “oh the target of the desired speechcrime repression is a particularly nasty individual, for this reason:”

You could have openly said “I agree that nasty people should be censored”, I suppose.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely understand the schadenfreude that can be felt when people who have said particularly nasty things, especially pro-authority, pro-bullying things, in the past are targeted themselves. None better – I love it when the vicious pc censors and smearers (feminists,anti-racists, homosexual activity promoters, etc) of previous years fall foul themselves of what they used to dish out so freely.

But you really should qualify such comments with at least a summary explanation of your views and opinions on the law, or suggested law, if you don’t want to be assumed to be an apologist for it.

This is not directly related to the articles above, but it’s important to me. Direct impact of COVID policy on my livelihood! 6TH February 2022. Dear Sxxxx, You mentioned in your previous email that you wanted to see a copy of my vaccination certificate. I have not had the covid 19 vaccinations so am unable to provide this. During 2020 I was employed in a variety of roles deemed essential work. As there was no vaccine the only thing to do was to take best precautions. I am sure I was exposed to covid but suffered no ill effects. As covid has progressed to the Omnicron variant it has become less dangerous and it is my personal belief that it is not in my best interest to take a vaccine now. Both the UKHSA, the CDC in America, and health agencies around the world say that the vaccines are not useful in stopping the spread of this virus. For that reason I feel it is a personal choice for each individual to make. Obviously as a private company you can make any choices you like, but I would note that the NHS has now dropped the requirement for its staff… Read more »

Contemptible.

Ultimately, the only option for those still resisting the “vaccine” bullying, if employers are so shameless and if there is no employment protection in place, is to find work elsewhere.

perhaps also make a FOI request for the evidence that was used to justify their mandate. I suspect he real reason why the nhs vaccine mandate was dropped was because legally the government didn’t have a leg to stand on and they could see they stood to be sued by a great many people.

Did you see that video where protesters led by Piers Corbyn tried to beak into an empty building that was previously a BBC studio?
A bit of a gathering, the Police told them to piss off, and away they slunk.

And PS, in your analysis, don’t make the error of assuming a compliant or stupid opponent in this. That’s the way of bullshido.

Our opponents will use their media power to blow up, misrepresent and demonise any and all actions taken in resistance to their policies. They will use images of any robust resistance dishonestly and in grossly exaggerated form to whip up outrage. Consider the left elites’ gross abuse of the January 6th protest in the US. They will use any such events as justification to bring in new laws, new powers for suppression of dissent, for intrusive snooping and for punitive actions.

Wrong.

Our current situation has nothing to do with a largely irrelevant virus. It has nothing to do with fake “vaccines,” but everything to do with coercion, control, depopulation and enslavement of the population that remains.

When a piece of sewing- whether in surgery or on material has gone wrong (ad say is ten stitches long) it usually has to be unpicked from the last stitch (no.10) back to the first. What is not needed is everyone standing over the stitches disputing which to unpick first. I think that the vaccines is probably the best place to start (though not to finish). As soon as a person takes another vaccine they become less willing to question the entire narrative.

And we also need to provide some hope and solutions for those who have taken 1, 2, or 3 vaccines, or they will be loathe to listen.

They’ve succeeded in installing a global health pass system for international travel, which almost certainly was at least one of the goals.

As I expected the Rogan-Neil Young is snow balling.

They are really going for him and Rogan is in for the fight of his life.

It’s not looking good though, when he’s out apologising it’s because he’s in real trouble. He is discovering he isn’t really independent and Spotify own him. But if he continues bending to his attackers he is going to put his popularity, which is largely based on his independence, at risk.

Really tricky time for the guy.

Glen Greenwald tweeted – “It was only a question of time before the all-out war on Rogan began. He’s way too big and off-key to permit him to keep going. The concept of free speech in the US is a mirage: you have it right up to the line where it matters or can threaten power centers, then you don’t. Rogan represents a threat to corporate media – because he questions, disputes and dissents from their herd propaganda.”

I can’t quite make my mind up whether they orchestrate for some dumb stooge like Neil Young to take a shot at him and get things going or whether they just wait until something happens by itself and then pile on the moment they smell blood.

I suppose it doesn’t make much difference, but can’t help wondering.

Not to worry about the DMED data by three military doctors exposing massive vaccine side effects, the Ministry of Truth, oops I mean PolitiFact says it’s bogus. The “figures are wrong. They resulted from a glitch in the database.” The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation. It gave the “appearance of significant increased occurrence.” So the US government took system offline to “identify and correct the root-cause of the data corruption.” And that’s how you suppress bombshell evidence!

Yes, they just change the other data ( for the previous/pre-vax *5* years! ). But Steve Kirsch points out that the data that the govt is now claiming was “in error/glitched” just happens to be the figures for vax-injury related diseases only …. the data for *non-vax-injury-related* disease figures was apparently not glitched. …

Seems that somebody’s got hold of “reliable” intel from within the Canadian law enforcement that they’re planning on a swoop of the truckers with mass arrests planned. Not sure what the truckers’ plan is for this though. 🙁 https://www.instagram.com/p/CZqiIc5PKre/?fbclid=IwAR0Gk6Ros4vJYEng7ZkkJd5zGcRCEZ7U-yOJ3bahshazVHJLg09BX8aBk3Q

I noticed Instagram have taken that vid down. But the person should’ve shared on other platforms…I’ll keep my eyes peeled. Apparently hundreds of police are gonna descend on the truckers and arrest them then bus them off somewhere. They’ve already confiscated the propane and fuel supplies at part of the truckers’ park, ensuring the truckers have no way to keep themselves warm in sub 20+deg temps overnight. Love the way peaceful protesting truckers who are law-abiding are getting targeted by police ( “law enforcement” LOL! ) who are breaking their own laws. “Rules for thee but not for me”. Guess things are escalating as predicted but the truckers are getting legal advice and told to only state their name if arrested and ask for the reason why they’re getting arrested. Things developing all the time over there…..

“Our BBC” indeed. It’s certainly not mine, nor do I want it. If it is anything, it is the State Broadcaster, doing the government’s will. Programme last night: Call the Midwife. Set in the east end of London in the 1950’s ( at the start), now up to the 60’s. Can be a bit preachy, and gets caught up with “ishoos” from time to time, but everyone is always terribly understanding. At least some of the characters are Christian Nuns, a rarity on British TV these days. Last night, one of the main story storylines was about promoting the measles vaccine. Lots of lines about how important it was to keep your child safe by having them vaccinated, how parents who didn’t were stupid, how awful to let a child die for want of a simple injection, etc. It was touched on that there was a payment for each injection given, but the heroic doctor cast that aside as irrelevant, as this was a “health emergency”! In my view, a clear and clumsy nudge to modern day parents over the covivax. Followed by Trigger Point, supposedly about a bomb disposal team. It now seems that the bad guys are “white… Read more »

I remember Graham Nash, when he was a member of The Hollies, having a go at Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits, in a TV documentary of their tour in the US, for not being ‘political’. Peter Noone said he was happy just enjoying life as a singer in a band, while it was clear that Nash thought of himself as anti-establishment, profound and opposed to the military-industrial complex. How times have changed. The pharma-industrial complex is his thing now.

3 good ones on the Joe Rogan saga , motives and significance: https://amgreatness.com/2022/02/05/time-is-running-out-for-the-covid-coverups/ “Joe Rogan and Spotify aren’t in trouble for spreading false information. They’re in trouble for embarrassing the media and government officials who themselves pushed false information.” https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/on-joe-rogan/comments “Third, what is happening to Rogan right now is not about his use of the n-word. How do I know? Because those clips have been around for years – more than a decade, in some cases. They long predate his Spotify deal. They are being used against him right now because they can be, because in having me and a handful of other vaccine and Covid skeptics on Rogan has driven the public health and media establishment mad.” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/revolution-has-come-joe-rogan “To put it more bluntly, the people who believe men can give birth are now in charge of what is true. The only authority they have is political power. Such power isn’t necessarily authoritative, but it gives them the strength to set definitions and enforce the rules, to declare guilt and issue punishment….
